Pawling 2009

For once, this is not about James! Mike and I did our first triathlon of the season yesterday - the Pawling Triathlon. We both did ok - not great. I was 2.5 minutes slower than the last time I did the race -in 2007; Mike did a little better. Still, it was fun to race again - it was my first post-James race.

Post-race:

I can't resist taking pictures of him while he's sleeping.

Crawling

My camera is broken and barely lets me do anything but I managed to video the boy crawling this evening.

9 months old

James is 9 months old today. At his check up on Thursday he weighted 19 lbs 9 oz, which puts him in the 40th percentile for weight (despite how much he eats!) and was 29.5" tall, which puts him in the 85th percentile for height. In the doctor's words, he's "tall and skinny." Here are some pictures from last week.

Early morning laughter on the weekend

Bouncing & being an engineer - sort of!

The boy loves this gymnastics thing:

James also wanted me to record this video of his examination of the springs on his buggy. Lately he is obsessed with how things work - he crawls towards the screws attaching the gate to the wall, loves to play with the stroller wheels, and turns all the toys upside down to see what's going on underneath, etc.

Laughing

This is James with Annie, Berta's daughter. James thinks she's hysterical - I constantly come home to find him laughing at her doing something silly!
